The Human Rights Project and the Center for Civic Engagement invite you to join us on Thursday October 22, at 4:00 PM in RKC 103 for a panel discussion with
Kostis Papaioannou
Secretary General, Ministry of Justice, Transparency, and Human Rights in Greece.
Ashwini Sukthankar
International labor rights attorney and Deputy Director of UNITE HERE
Christina Miliou Theocharaki (’15), 2015 Rosenberg Internship Fellow, worked as the Combating Anti-Semitism and Extremism Intern at Human Rights First.
This panel will focus on the interplay between economic conditions in Greece and the socio-political landscape of the country. Through a focus on the current erosion of human rights protections, the privatization of public infrastructures, and the surge in popularity of the right-wing extremist political party Golden Dawn, this panel will situate these pressing issues within the broader systemic forces at work in both the European Union and in the global economy more generally, and to offer a human rights critique of the economic austerity measures that the Greek government is now having to carry out.
The panel will be moderated by Economics and Human Rights major, Iro Grimpizi (’17)
